EASTPOINT BUSINESS PARK
Today I had planned to attend the opening of a new Indian restaurant in the Portobello area of the city but for technical reasons the opening had to be rescheduled for Thursday so as I had plenty of time to spare and thought that it would be a good idea to explore the Tolka Estuary Greenway section of the Dublin Port Greenway and it proved to be an excellent decision even if I had the wrong camera and the wrong lens.
As there was no relevant signage on Alfie Byrne road I had difficulty finding the Tolka Estuary Greenway. I started by crossing the Eastpoint Causeway that crosses the Tolka River and then follow a waterfront path that leads to Bond Road where the entrance to the new Dublin Port Greenway. There is a second entrance beside the New Custom House on Promenade Road and the final entrance is at Terminal Road South/North. I met a number of people who were unaware of the waterfront walkway and therefore failed to find the Tolka Estuary Greenway - it is not at all obvious.
Eastpoint Business Park: A History and Development
Eastpoint Business Park stands as a testament to successful urban regeneration, transforming reclaimed land on Dublin's docklands into a thriving hub for business and innovation. The park, spanning approximately 40 acres, has become a prominent landmark, housing over 50 companies and providing employment for thousands.
History and Development
The history of Eastpoint is rooted in ambition and adaptation. Originally intended as the site for a new city airport, plans shifted towards a business park in the mid-1990s. The first phase, opening around 1996, marked the beginning of Eastpoint's transformation. Its success paved the way for further expansion, resulting in the vibrant business community we see today.
Eastpoint's development has been guided by a vision of creating a sustainable and attractive working environment. The park boasts modern office buildings, landscaped gardens, and scenic waterfront views. Its strategic location, close to Dublin city centre and major transport links, adds to its appeal.

Eastpoint is home to a diverse range of national and international companies, including:
